I wish books were guaranteed to be of a certain quality to be published, so I won't inadvertently waste time investing in a turd... nothing worse than the "breaking point" when you toss a book down and know deep down that you'll never pick it up to finish it.

Sometimes I wish a series needed to be complete to be published (Looking at you GRRM!)

I wish I was one of those rare folks that checks out a volume on encyclopedia from the library only to find several hundred dollars wedged into the middle somewhere...

I wish reading burned 10x as many calories. Man, if reading was a great cardio workout, I'd live forever!

I wish I was a faster reader. So many books, so little time.Peter - you can find the Guernsey book at A Different Bookstore in Serendra. I saw a bunch of copies there about 2 weeks ago.What are you reading for your bookclub? It depends as I'm so picky with what I read. Heard you do book swaps, that would be fun!

This was just funny! LOL! I would love a bookmark for every book :) I don't know about eating books, 'cause I love to reread or just have 'em for my library, but maybe the bookmark you get with every book is eatable ;)

I wish there were more libraries in our country, Peter, so that more people could have access to these wonderful books. For my own selfish reasons, I wish I could borrow some books as I don't have enough money to buy all those I'd like to read, and oftentimes do purchase only to be underwhelmed by the content.

Peter, thanks for stopping by MyPorch otherwise I never would have found your really fun and fabulous blog. And, like discovering an established author for the first time, I get to go back and read your back catalog.

I wish girls would read Twilight more critically, maybe if they read more, they would think more about what they read?I wish more parents would read to their kids and even as they grow up keep talking about and sharing books with their kids.Eating books, wouldn't it be great to consume knowledge?I wish people who only read one book a year or less, would stop telling me that the Da Vinci Code is a masterpiece.I wish I could read faster and there were more hours for reading.Thanks Peter, that was fun.

I have nothing against reading Twilight, but what I've noticed among friends and acquaintances is that they only read this book (and Harry Potter), and after finishing these books they stop reading any other book anymore. These people are not really into reading; they just read these books for the sake of: they're popular, they're widely read by people, they're into romance between vampires and humans/fantasy... Honestly, I haven't read any of these books, and I don't have plan reading any of them. I myself (a girl) is a bookworm, and my favorite book subjects are history, biography and royalty. Many people don't quite understand why I read such books (they say the books I read are unusual and difficult and I can see the look in their face that they view me as either a genius or an eccentric).
